Vamp is off to Richard's studio, getting her 'show pictures' done. She is the 2006 collaborative effort between A.D. and myself. The division of labor was once again the same, with A.D. doing the 'hard work' (i.e., the sculpt) and me doing the 'fun work' which is everything else.
Once again, we have ourselves a winner. Vamp came home with a light blue ribbon from the UFDC (United Federation of Doll Clubs) competition. Orchid, our diamond girl, again won dark blue, First Place (ooohlala!!!) and life goes on.
We have already started work on our entries for 2008, so for any club members looking to be entertained by us then, don't worry - we're planning to be there.
I am considering doing the 'Flamingo Show' in November. My jewelry, crowns, SHOES(!!), maybe elves, certainly DRAGONS(!?) would be available IN PERSON then. However, that will depend on the response that I get from any of you who attended this last show. Meaning (here, folks, I'll spell it out...): If you want me to appear IN PERSON, you had better email me to tell me so. info@cathycara.com is for all of you who have asked for EMAIL over the years, so USE it. If I have to pay to do a hokey show and none of you care about buying shoes or crowns, then I'm NOT going to do the show. As many of you know, EVERYTHING I do is word of mouth. So, please, tell your friends. Pieces are still only acquired by someone who knows someone. Although, I have this past year tried to donate several to charity auctions for causes I deem worthy. I figured that this allows someone who knows NO ONE to get a chance.
A special note to whoever was lucky enough to win one of my elves: they are EXTREMELY (can you hear me yelling) delicate. They do not like windowsills, they like to be protected from cats. They are happiest in china closets. The answer to what they are made of is: elf flesh. There is no 'elf hospital' that they can go to if they become injured. You are now on your own with them and as long as you always remember that they are ELVES, and not toys, you should be fine. Anyone wishing to acquire an elf, they come jointed/semi-jointed/non-jointed can contact me at info@cathycara.com . Several elves will be leaving for California soon, well maybe, but that's another story.
